Harbeth 30th Year Anniversary
I think Yogi may be confusing the Harbeth 30.1 with general Harbeth 30th Anniversary speaker models. I have a new pair of SHL5's and they are the 35th Anniversary edition. So my guess any of the 30th Anniversary speakers are 5 years old. My unders... 
How does the Peachtree amp and Dac compare...?
I took back a NAD 375 BEE after 3 weeks and exchanged it for a Nova 125. No comparison, the Peachtree is in another class altogether. So much more refinement across the board. I am a NAD fan having owned many over the years, but it is totally out ... 
Peachtree Audio Nova125 & sensitive speakers
What complete idiots some people are! Never ceases to amaze me. But it is what makes the world go around I guess. :o) 
Peachtree Audio Nova125 & sensitive speakers
Must be something wrong with your amp. I have the Nova 125 with a pair of 89db speakers and while that is not as sensitive as yours, I cannot hear any hiss even with my earagainst the speaker. Excellent amp!! 
Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?
I think a perfect pair would be a used set of Silverline Preludes. Superb bass but won't bother your neighbors as it is tight but not ultra deep, excellent imaging and beautiful with female vocals, and can be found in your price range. 
Best Power Cable for less than $100
Highstream,Just purchased two of those cables for my powered subs. We'll see what happens when they get here. 
Tyler Acoustics
Don't dismiss Def Tech as a viable option. The newest 80 series are superb speakers. I have the BP 8080ST's and love them, and not just for HT. They are replacing a pair of fine Usher 8871 Diamonds and I am not looking back one bit. They are that ... 
GT Audio Works Hybrid Planar Speakers Listening Se
Are these $2995 a pair? I may consider them if so. They look nice and think they may match up well with my 75 W/PC Exposure integrated since they are 90db. In your opinion, did they suffer from a one person sweet spot, or are they good across a fa... 
Need cool running integrated under $1500 new/used
You need to check out the Exposure 2010S2. Runs cool as a cucumber and has two sets of binding post for biwiring. Oh and sounds just fantastic! One word of caution though, it accepts bananas only. 
AP's Oval 9 Black vs Audio Art SC-5E vs Nordost??
Sunnyjim, Here you go.http://www.stereolab.us/gallery-view/black-cat-cable-2/Just picked them up today and immediately I can tell you they are superb sounding. I need to break them in but so far they are (compared to the AA's) faster, clearer, muc... 
AP's Oval 9 Black vs Audio Art SC-5E vs Nordost??
Hey Sunnyjim,I also have the SC-5's but I think they are better than just ok personally. :o) I have had many cables that I played with in the recent past and keep coming back to the SC-5's. I to am interested in upgrading but it's hard knowing jus... 
Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic.
Brownsfan,Well said! I nominate your last reply as the "Reference Standard explanation":o). I think it is what a lot of people try to convey when making replies, but it is hard to put into words. I agree with it 100%.Again, very well said. 
Help me pick some speakers
Small foot print, great bass and very musical...Silverline Prelude. Might be a couple hundred over your budget new if you can't find a used pair. 
Oppo Customer Service Review
Same for me. I sent my Oppo 83 in for a small fee, and when they received it a couple of days later, they literally emailed me the same day stating they replaced the entirelaser assembly & updated it, and it was on it's way back to me with a t...
